Chapter Two - My first day
The next morning I woke up to a knock on my door.
"Huhmph?" I answered groggily.
The door opened and Jacob stuck his head in.
"Good morning. It's ten, breakfast should be ready in about half an hour so get up and come downstairs."
"Uh huh." I replied. He closed the door and left.
I had every intention of getting up but after last nights events my bed was just too warm and comfortable. I very quickly fell back to sleep.
I awoke again to a knock at my door. This time Jacob didn't wait for me to answer before entering the room.
"Breakfast is ready and if you're not down in fifteen minutes there'll be trouble." He said sternly before leaving.
Even though I knew that I didn't want to find out what sort of 'trouble' he meant once again the pull of sleep was too hard to ignore.
The next time he didn't knock when he entered my room. Hearing the door click open he strode over to me and whipped the duvet off of me, exposing my body to the cool morning air.
"You were warned Annabelle. Up, now!" He barked at me and I shot upright.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry.. It's just last night I.." I went to explain but he cut me off.
"I know about last night Annabelle but that's really no excuse. You disobeyed orders. Have a shower and get dressed. Your breakfast is on the kitchen table. It's most likely cold at this point but once you've eaten it meet me in the living room." With that he strode out of the room closing the door behind him.
Putting my face in my hands I groaned to myself. I couldn't believe I'd gotten into trouble on my first proper day here. What a great start. I was dreading whatever Jacob wanted me to meet him in the living room for.
"Well there's no point in delaying it." I muttered to myself, getting up and heading for the shower.
I showered as quickly as I could, putting on a comfortable t-shirt and jogging bottoms afterwards and made my way down to the kitchen.
There was no one in the kitchen when I got down there. I spotted my breakfast on the table, simple scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. I sat down and started eating, it was indeed cold as Jacob had said. I considered the trouble I was in and without my meaning to I ate at a very slow pace.
"I don't have all day Annabelle." I jumped at Jacobs voice from the kitchen door.
"Sorry!" I squeaked, picking up the pace as Jacob left the room.
I finished the rest of my breakfast in record time and after cleaning my plate and cutlery I made my way to the living room.
Standing in the doorway I saw Jacob sat on the sofa, tapping his foot impatiently. I lingered in the doorway, unable to make my feet move me forward. Jacob sighed and looked up spotting me in the doorway.
"There you are Annabelle. You kept me waiting far too long." He greeted me sternly.
"Sorry.." I muttered, not moving from the doorway.
"Come and stand in front of me." He said, making a 'come here' motion with his hand.
I took a step forward and then hesitated again. Jacob lost his stern expression, instead it was replaced with a warm smile. He stood up and walked over to me. Standing in front of me he put his hands either side of my face and pulled my face towards his, his lips meeting mine.
His kiss was so different from Rebecca's. He took control right from the start, no hesitation here. He parted my lips, his tongue meeting mine tenderly. I sighed against his lips, the tension leaving my body. He ended the kiss quickly, pulling back to look me in the eyes, his thumb caressing my cheek.
"It will be okay sweetheart. I still need to punish you, you did misbehave after all. Remember you can use your safeword at any point if it's too much for you, okay?" He asked. I nodded in response, my nerves returning.
Grabbing me by the hand he led me over to the sofa. Sitting down in the middle of the sofa he pulled me over his knees, my ass pointing upwards, one of his arms was draped over the top of my back effectively pinning me down. His other hand started to caress my bottom.
"You'll be getting ten swats for disobeying orders and another ten for keeping me waiting. Do you understand?" He asked. I nodded in reply but this didn't satisfy him as he slapped my raised bottom and I yelped in surprise. "Use your words Annabelle. Do you understand?" He asked again.
"Y-yes." I stammered. He slapped me again.
"Yes, what?" He asked after I had yelped once more. It took me a second to realise what he meant.
"Yes Sir." I correctly quietly. This seemed to satisfy him.
Using the hand he had previously slapped me with he pulled down my trousers and underwear to reveal my bare bottom. I pressed my face into the cushion of the sofa, embarrassed that this was the first time he was seeing any part of me exposed.
"Now the first two don't count as you still had on your clothes," He explained, his hand caressing my now bare ass, "So that's twenty swats all together. I want you to count them for me."
"Yes Sir." I responded.
As soon as the words left my mouth his hand disappeared only to return with what seemed to be a very loud SMACK.
I gasped, tears building in my eyes. It wasn't so much the pain, although it did hurt more now that the protection of my clothes was no longer there. It was the feeling of knowing that I'd done something wrong that warranted this punishment. On my first day no less.
"Count Annabelle." Jacobs command brought me out of my thoughts and I remembered his earlier instruction.
"One." I gasped around the lump that was now forming in my throat.
